This round hasn't seen any further comment, and I think all the previously raised issues have been resolved in this version, so I am tempted to merge it to 'next'. One thing that I noticed is that "git submodule -h" does not give any hint about --dissociate even though it talks about --reference with these patches applied, and I think it probably should [*1*]. We can make such an update as incremental patch on top of these, if people cared enough about this, without a further reroll of these three patches. Thanks. [Footnote] *1* It's not like we must list each and every option available---it is perfectly fine to omit less common ones to keep the "-h" output manageably short. But I have a feeling that "--reference" and "--dissociate" should probably be at a similar level of importance, and if we list one we probably should show the other, too.
